Mod Advice

OK... I have a 2006 C2S Cab (w PASM) which other than maybe 1 DE event each year I only plan to drive it for fun when the weather is nice and sunny. These are only for looks and whatever other slight benefit which may result.

What are the current recommendations for spacers to improve the appearance of the track, giving a more aggressive appearance? As well, I want to lower it slightly to fill out the wheel wells and improve looks? I know the S with PASM is 10mm lower. I don't want anything too firm so I want to be careful how much I drop it.

I am thinking 5mm front and 10mm rear spacers and maybe later new Eibach springs to lower a further 10mm... any thoughts? Thanks guys.

I have a 997.1 S Cab, and 7mm front/15mm rear seem like the perfect fit. I started out with 5mm at all four corners but it was too subtle. The new ones pushed the wheels out to the limit of the wheel wells without rubbing. It's a silly mod because it's likely only for looks, but I've been pleased with it. FWIW, I recently bought a beautiful set of .1 GT3 wheels/tires (from a forum member) and they also fit with these spacers despite the fact that the rear are (I believe) 1" wider.
If you go with this setup, don't forget to get a new set of longer wheel bolts.

I have 7mm F and 15mm R and I wouldn't go any thinner, as for
springs take your pick, they all lower the car about the same.

If your car is only for fair weather, then you won't drive it much living on the shore. PM for the number of a local source for spacers.

What springs/spacers did you end up going with?

No springs. 7mm H&R spacers for the rear. So far I am very pleased!
